Hi Fellas, was giving my car a bit of the lights yesterday, and when I took my car out of first gear and tried to put it in second it wouldn't go in and kept crunching.

It wouldn't go into ANY gear.

The only time it would go into gear was when the car was off, but you could not start it evem when you foot is pressing the clutch?

What could be wrong?

It was bizzare, when we were pushing it to get it off the road, it slipped into first gear and drove fine, so I am thinking it's not the clutch itself (but I had to take it out of gear when stationary otherwise the car would stall)

Could someone please give me an idea of what it may be and how much it would cost to fix?

Cheers

Any number of things.

Do you have fluid in the clutch master reservoir?

You may have a broken pedal box. Or you've dropped the pivot pin that holds the pushrod onto the pedal.

Yes, I have fluid in the clutch master resevoir.

There are no leaks of any sort...

How much would a pedal box cost to replace?

What's the worst case scenario that it could be, and how much would it cost to fix?

Cheers

synchro's? (mine cost $70 to replace my third gear synchro)

But not sure.

You said when you were in gear with clutch in the car would still move/stall?

Bleed your system and check from clutch pedal back and see what happens.

When I adjusted my take up point, I found that my car would lock me out of 1st and 2nd occasionally. Try adjusting the take up point a little or replacing either the slave or master cyl.
